Spanish Language Program

Children pass through a sensitive period of speech development during which they can learn a second or third language with little effort. Learning a second language not only allows a child to express himself or herself to another group of people, but it allows the child to better understand other cultures and the interconnected world in which he or she lives. The children at Woodside have a Spanish class every day.

• Introduction of Spanish as a second language through songs and action rhymes.
